Nancy - That's a cardinal flower. We bought it for $3 and stuck it in the ground, and it just took off. It has flowered less since the hot weather hit, but the leaves and vines still look pretty. Kerry - You are too kind. We live in a swamp here in Northern Virginia, and some stuff grows like crazy, but other stuff struggles. Linda - Yeah, those day lilies are kind of my babies. I think I need to replace some of my wild ones with cultivated ones that won't try to take over the rest of the flowerbed. Lori - Glad you enjoy them - I'm trying to spend more time getting my yard in shape (lots of weeds).

About Me

After spending my formative years paying no heed to all the family stories, I got hooked on genealogy later in life and am now trying to catch up. My husband and I had long ago developed an interest in graveyards and have enjoyed visiting them while on vacation. I have started two Graveyard Rabbit blogs as a way, in addition to my participation in Findagrave, to help make information to other people who are researching their family history.
